Rawalpindi: The Lahore High Court Rawalpindi bench on Tuesday directed Regional Police Officer (RPO) to promptly locate and recover Sheikh Rasheed and sought a report within a week time,.
Justice Sadaqaat Ali Khan of the LHC passed the orders on a lea moved by the nephew of former interior minister.
